In total, the United States has committed approximately $15.8 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the beginning of the Biden Administration.

Belgium to provide Ukraine with new package of military assistance, incl machine guns and ammunition

The minister said that after the military aid had already been provided to Kyiv for EUR 45 million, this time Belgium will allocate a package for EUR 12 million, including the supply of large-caliber machine guns and ammunition.

"We will also send non-lethal materials for winter, helmets, spare equipment, surveillance equipment. At the beginning of 2023, we will supply ambulances and trucks for medical purposes," Dedonder explained.

Soviet-made BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles will “very quickly” head to Ukraine, from Greece, as a deal with Berlin to replenish Athens' stocks with the more modern Marder armoured vehicles is close, Ms Lambrecht said.

Won’t make any difference in the ultimate outcome.

Furthermore:

‘US Ammunition Running Low for Ukraine, No Quick Fix for Shortage’

Couple this with the recessions in both the EU and US, then it raises the question of:

‘How long will Western Support for Ukraine continue in the face of economic pain at home’

But yes, good Citizens, continue to send them various Ukraine NGOs your $5, $10, $25, $50 donations........despite Ukraine being the world’s greatest cesspool of corruption in human history. GG.

[ronnie raygun]

They are feeding their cash cow. Foreign aid skim off the top was not good enough

[entropy12]

US does not have 6 dollars surplus to send anyone.
The Treasury is in debt to it’s eyeballs.

We are a bankrupt superpower but neocons will not give up foreign wars. Because the military-industrial base keeps them in power and wealthy. Trump is opposite and that is why theneocons despise him.

[JonPreston]

$600 million in additional equipment to Zelenskyy, with 10% going to the Big Guy is a cool $60 million to the Biden crime family. And the best part for Neocons? It will prolong the inevitable by a month or so, resulting in 10s of 1000s additional deaths.

[BlackbirdSST]

You’re not going to get much support on threads like this unless you ping the rest of your neocon leftist trash. What’s wrong with you?

[4Runner]

What is all of the U.S. military aid to the Ukraine going to do to our relationship with Moscow after the dust settles?

[4Runner]

What is with these people with their own personal “ping” lists? Power brokers? I have never seen anyone use one on any article I have ever posted. Yet a lot of OP’s seem to get their articles “pinged” almost immediately. Call me stupid, but I’ve never been able to figure this out.

[Monterrosa-24]

As opposed to you and your American-hating Bolshevik scum. Russia hates us, plots against America, brags about their ability to “win” a nuclear war and you zip wads support Russia and its genocide against Ukrainians.

More money laundering.

Meanwhile, Cost Of Living Allowance for service members in Hawaii is being cut by 62%. Because, it’s become 62% cheaper to live everywhere, especially Hawaii. /sarc

[tlozo]

More money laundering. Meanwhile, Cost Of Living Allowance for service member

If you read the article, all of this current aid to Ukraine, is in the form of military equipment. Meanwhile, the Biden administration just announced almost One Trillion in college student loan forgiveness over the next ten years.

[Nathan _in_Arkansas]

Yeah. Then we have to pay to buy new, more expensive equipment to refill our stockpiles.

SECDEF got a lot of his millions through Raytheon and other defense companies.

I’ve been AD for over 20 years. I see the things that are being taken from us to be given to them and we have no replacement at this time.

It’s dangerous.

[EC Washington]

So we should give Saint Zelensky a Trillion Dollars???

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Russia probably should have thought about its future relationships with Europe and the U.S. before it decided to invade Ukraine. Evidently, it didn't consider them of much importance or value.

So most likely, the U.S. and Europe will continue to reduce whatever economic and cultural ties we still have with Russia. No great loss on our end, obviously.

[BlackbirdSST]

I bleed Red White and Blue. FU.

[tlozo]

So we should give Saint Zelensky a Trillion Dollars???

LOL, of course not, but sending weapons to Ukraine seems to be accomplishing the destruction of the Russian invading army.

[tlozo]

Yeah. Then we have to pay to buy new, more expensive equipment to refill our stockpiles.

Correct, but we are trying to send older versions/stockpiles. For instance, the 200 m113(US has 6,000 in storage) sent to Ukraine will never be used again.

The settling dust reveals that Russia isn’t.

Russia has already been severely damaged to the degree that it may be a decade or longer before it can return to any semblance of the pre February 2022 economy.

The ongoing war in Ukraine has caused Russia to cease selling gas into Europe. The flow has stopped. As a result, the Europeans are finding how to get along without the gas and have determined that the future must be one with a defeated and crippled Russia. Peace through a proxy war in Ukraine is now the reality.

For the USA, the war in Ukraine has provided a means for exterminating the perpetual Russian enemy. By investing in the war with weapons provided to Ukraine, America is devastating the Russian forces in the field. The superiority of American and European weapons has destroyed the Russian assault and is continuing to assault and exterminate that which remains.

America is making an investment with arms in Ukraine that will pay dividends for years. Russia as a world class enemy is no more

Vladimir Putin has boasted about his arms for years. He is being shown the reality. His boasting is just hot air. He has no military that is capable of modern war.

The west has made and is implementing the decision to cripple Russia and remove it from the possibility of any semblance of future aggression.

Russia just isn’t

[BlackbirdSST]

What part of FU didn’t you understand? Russia Russia Russia is about all you neo trash have left in your quiver. It is the go to salacious charge from every leftist in America. Try something original.
